Updates on TikTok
<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n\n
\n
<\/strong>The previously existing platform, where creators and brands can find each other, has been updated: from now on, it includes more performance insights and better sorting tools. Brands will have the opportunity to oversee the creative process and monitor their campaign performance real-time. They also introduced the \u2018Open Application Campaigns\u2019, enabling brands to list their campaigns for interested creators to self-apply.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
<\/strong>It\u2019s a new initiative, a self-serve portal, that will match brands with vetted creative service providers to help them produce high-performing ads, suited to their brief and objectives.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
<\/strong>A new feature to help advertisers understand what\u2019s working on the platform, in real-time. Brands and advertisers will be able to explore a showcase of the top-performing ads on the platform, view details on the latest trends, and also search through TikTok\u2019s audio library to get inspired.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
<\/strong>It\u2019s a new creation element that will use machine learning to break the videos into multiple scenes – it will create TikTok clips, based on existing assets. This could help those who are not as familiar with the platform trends and video editing techniques.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
<\/strong>For those eCommerce brands who are not familiar with TikTok yet, the platform will offer a new option called Dynamic Showcase Ads, enabling brands to automatically promote their products, with ads aligned to specific user preferences and interests.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ol>\n
3. Google is Improving its Shopping Experience
<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n4. Facebook launches new tools for brands and retailers<\/b><\/h2>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n5. Facebook Experiments with Additional Business Context Elements in Ad Display
<\/b><\/h2>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n6. Google\u2019s updates this month<\/strong><\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n
\n
\n
<\/span>In order to help advertisers keep track of their monthly budget, they have introduced a new budget report focusing on monthly spend. Besides helping to understand how much an advertiser is projected to pay at the end of the month, it also aims to make it easier to understand how past changes to the daily budget impacted the campaign performance.<\/span>

<\/span>Google is rolling out with enhanced conversion in a beta version to all eligible advertisers. It allows tags to use consented, user-provided data from your website to give a more accurate view of how people convert after engaging with your ads.\u00a0 The data is hashed to ensure security and protect user privacy, and advertisers only receive aggregated and anonymized conversion reporting. For example if somebody just sees your ad, but doesn\u2019t click on it, but later visits your website – this event would have been really hard to attribute to your ads. But with Enhanced conversions, you can better understand your customer\u2019s journey by tying more conversions to your ads in a privacy-safe way. <\/span>

<\/b>In an effort to improve non-click measurement metrics, Google has introduced engaged-view conversions – it counts more than 10 seconds of watching a video ad as a conversion.

7. Updates on Pinterest:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/b>It pulls products from a merchants catalog an automatically generates an attention-grabbing collections ad. This automatically creates a video-like content that\u2019s tailored to every shopper. The two main ideas behind it: customers love videos and they are actively considering more than one product at a time, leading to bigger baskets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
<\/b>Lot of customers don\u2019t fall in love with products, but with brand. Inspired by this attitude, Pinterest now enables merchants to showcase their values on their profile – eg.g. Responsibly sources, invested in good, inclusive, or add details that highlight a community that community belongs to – e.g. Black-owned, Latinx-owned, Woman-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, Disability-owned, etc.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
<\/b>Building on the already existing Idea Pin format, Pinterest is testing an Idea Ads with paid partnership. This is a collab between creators and advertisers – a creator makes an Idea Pin and tags a brand partner. The advertiser can promote that pin as an Idea ad. This helps both reach a broader audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
